50 Best Vegan Restaurants in Salem

“We were up from Eugene for another reason, and decided to have lunch. We are so glad we tried this place. I can't recommend it enough. The food is delicious, the service was prompt and friendly, everything was amazing. And the two bathrooms aren't gendered.“

“Delicious DF/GF donut holes“

“Tried Royal Thai for the first time today. It was wonderful! Fresh ingredients, variety of dishes on the menu and a quiet, clean and intimate setting. We will be going back..“

“Beautiful, delicious, most amazing bakery ever!“

“I came to Offbeat Coffee for the first time today. The drinks were beautifully crafted, the baked goods were delicious, the atmosphere was somehow a cross between vibrant and cozy, and the servers were top notch with their customer service!“

“8/31/2025 was my 1st time being there! I was meeting friends here! I come in everything was cleaned and I ordered my food and got sushi it was super yummy and worth the money!“

“This is more than a pleasant surprise, this is my go to now for Indian food. My hubby and I went for a date night and it was perfect, so I had to take our kids about a month later and everything was just as perfect. The portions are phenomenal and they do not skimp on the amount of meat, veggies, or potatoes in each dish. Every dish I've tried so far(scroll down for more details on each dish) the meats have been perfectly cooked, along with the veggies and potatoes. Also most dishes come with a side of white basmati rice, which is very well cooked.

The staff are so very nice, friendly and will help you with recommendations as well as any questions on individual dishes. They really do know their menu, and I so appreciate that.

Spicy heat levels: The spiciness we've tried is medium, which my hubby says is the perfect amount of heat. While I find the medium to be extremely tasty, I don't find it spicy at all. I think the hotter levels(hot and extra hot) are the perfect level. So just be cognizant of your spice tolerance because the levels are noticeable.

Drinks: they sit you with a fresh bottle of ice cold water. I'm fine with just that. But they do have plenty of other choices.

Appetizers: We get the samosas with the ground lamb and oh my gosh so good. They are perfectly crispy, and huge. The filling is substantial, with a wonderful amount of ground lamb not just veggies. The spices and sauce is deep in flavor and should not be passed up. They also come with their cilantro sauce which is very bright and I do believe it is a tamarind sauce which is a bit sweet, on the side, they are both wonderful. It's nice to go back and forth, it's like having three different appetizers in one.

Sides: so far we've gotten the garlic naan. Each order comes with quite a few pieces to get you through your meal. It's freshly cooked not frozen. It has a nice crisp to it and a little bit of fluff. The butter garlic and cilantro on top isn't skimped on but doesn't make it soggy.
We've also tried the saffron rice. This was very tasty, it had a very satisfying saffron flavor and the rice wasn't dry at all.

Mains: Lamb curry is my favorite Indian dish and this one is so very good. They do a wonderful job of balancing all the spices so all the flavors really stand out.
Butter chicken. It's really buttery and rich. It isn't tomato forward but in a wonderful way, but that's personally the way I like it. You can certainly feel and taste all the wonderful spices they use, it is very well balanced, with perfectly cooked chicken.
Lamb vindaloo, the spices are so deep and everything has been cooked to really infuse those flavors into all the pieces.
Lamb mushroom, is mushroomy and they take on the spices so well. If you love mushrooms you're gonna love this combo of flavors.
Lamb biryani, this one has a beautiful blend of spices, rice, and huge lamb chunks all blended together. It's a dish that you'll take bite after bite just to taste that blend again.

So if you like/ love Indian food this is a place that i think will make you appreciate it even more. If you've never tried it and are curious this is a perfect place I think to start you off on an amazing journey. If you think you'd not like Indian food, I'll tell you I was the same until I took a chance and tried something new and found a journey through some beautiful flavors that I've craved ever since.“

“We tried the Fried Ice Cream for dessert. We're taking a many years long survey of who has the best. La Vida Catrina does, IMO. Former best, now second best, was in San Pedro, CA.“

“This place has always felt like what would happen if a Michelin star chef decided to retire and open a cozy diner. Everything has a flair to it that just makes it better. Cannot recommend it enough. Also got some cookies from there today, and they're just as good as everything else I've had from them.“

“The best place to eat vietnameses food and very friendly service“

“Good foods Delicious recommend you to try it and you will like it.“

“you cant throw a baseball in this town without hitting an excellent thai restaurant. we finally made our first visit here because the new menu they released recently had so many items we had not seen anywhere else. everything we tried was fantastic and we definitely will be back to try many more dishes.“

“Best breakfast I've had. I'll be making the drive from Oregon City down here for the biscuits and chicken fried chicken. You can taste the love put into the food🩷“

“Really lovely little spot! The food is delicious and the service is great. They give you a massive portion for a normal price so its good if you are looking to get your money's worth. Good for sharing or leftovers! Atmosphere is also very cute and cozy :)“

“Incredible food and atmosphere. I ordered from the Barista Maddy and she was an absolute pleasure to be around.“

“So, so yumm! These cupcakes are seriously special… made with REAL ingredients, these will likely outshine your best home-mades!“

“Today they catered our lunch (for 15) at DSL Builders LLC in Salem. Excellent Food, Excellent Service, Excellent Variety. I would use them again and highly recommend.“

“It is hard to find good breakfast in this area and Cafe 22 hits the spot. I love their peaches, the pancake thickness isnt overly cakey and hard to swallow. The bacon is thick and cooked just right. The raspberry jam is real raspberry jam. The water mentioned in the another review is because they are on a well so it does taste little bit more tinnish, a lemon wedge in my water cured that. Stopped by the fruit stand for fresh strawberries, on the spendy side, but oh the flavor, absolutely nothing beats an Oregon strawberry. Had I known they did strawberry short cake, I woulda skipped the breakfast and went straight to the fruit stand.“

“I and my partner went to Olive garden Sunday April 12th for a little date night and our server was the lovely Brigitte E. She is by far the best server we've had here, to the point I may ask for her section next time we go. She was kind, personable/social, easy to talk to, and very attentive with us and all her other tables. She was more enjoyable and presentable than the hosts up front! I could tell she enjoys her job or enjoys people.
We unfortunately could not do the survey because the machine they bring to the table didn't like our chip haha, but I wanted to make sure she still got some recognition in a job field that doesn't come with much in the first place.
I also want to add in here that we tend to be dressed down especially me since i have to dress up for my job, which is important because one of the last servers we had kinda made us feel like the unimportant table in his section and I could see us getting side looks from him I wish I could remember his name.“

“Great selection of beverages and ice cream.“

“Delicious gluten free beautiful cake! 😍 Such wonderful people.“

“I'm a regular at The Sassy Onion and I highly recommend. the food is awesome and a shout out to ALL staff...you guys are the best.“

“We were in Salem for a concert at the Elsinore Theatre on Friday, November 1st, and were lucky enough to find the Wild Pear, to get something to eat before concert. I wanted to try everything on the menu, it sounded so good! I ordered the Butternut soup & Pear salad. Both were fabulous, & I can't wait to drive back to Salem to check out other items on the menu. We had awesome service and were greeted & shown to a table right away. You will not be disappointed! I will definitely be back, & wish you were closer to Vancouver, WA!!“

“Wow! Delicious. So many choices, the pastries and donuts are very large. We ate 2 for breakfast with coffee, they were delicious.“

“great service and so friendly! their charcuterie board is delicious!!“

“A good take n' bake pizza, so if you have a little extra time you can pick these up and in 10-12 minutes have a hot pizza. During October they have a Jack o lantern pizza.

Vegetarian options: They have dozens of different veggie toppings.

Dietary restrictions: My daughter has a friend with allergies to gluten and this was one place that can accommodate her.

Kid-friendliness: They have mini pizza kits so that your kiddos can put their pizzas together. That's what I would always get my girls.

Wheelchair accessibility: Handicap accessible parking“

“This fusion place is the absolute best! It's all very healthy food. I got a bowl with rice olives avocado chicken fish lots of veggies and the sauce was phenomenal....I bought some to take back to Chico and may stop and get a second bottle!!!!
Just another reason to come back to Oregon! 😀“

“Walking into Bentley’s felt like stepping into a Christmas postcard—the entryway decked out in festive décor set the perfect cozy vibe.

- Apricot-cured pork belly tacos with pickled shallots + cilantro for the perfect balance of flavor.
- Blackened salmon over pea lentils and leeks—perfectly balanced.
- Mac n’ cheese leveled up with smoked gouda, bacon, and a juicy chicken breast.
- Daily special: pea risotto with chanterelle mushrooms (don’t judge the pic, it was divine!).

IIf you’re craving that warm holiday ambiance and unforgettable bites, Bentley’s is the Salem icon you need to visit this season.“

“Date night with my Lady and we decided to checkout the Momiji Sushi restaurant for the second time in the state of Oregon before our movie. Newport and SE Salem. Excellent quality and service. I do wish they had calamari like the Newport location. Other than that they good money!“

“Waitress was very friendly, took order well and correct. One thing I may say noy so much as a bad thing but fries were brought out way before our food. Now maybe it was an appetizer we over looked. It was happy hour. Food tasted well, I order the triple cheeseburger sliders. I went to another McM. On Liberty and the burgers had a distinct flavor that I liked and these didn't have it. After all food was brought, the waitress dissappear for a bit. I guess a large party came in. We had a waiter come later and let us know and checked on us. Those were the only negative, otherwise everything else was great and I will be going back.“

“Apple Pancake is to die for - I actually walked 2-1/2 miles for one! While it has become pricey, it is well worth it.“
